Hello Valerie, thank you for your answer. I´m not sure whether I can interpret your spelling I tried to indicate with two arrows that both hands rotate first counter clockwise while the right hand moves up - the left moves down at the same moment. As I learned from you - we read the signs starting from the center - therefore I avoided to combine both arrows to one. Nevertheless looking at your writing - what does indicate that both hand rotate always in the same direction while moving up and down alternating? Thank you !
